@H3dgehog Don't generalize people based on faith. We don't live in middle ages. Its all about national interests. America during the 70s ignored calls by secular Muslims not to fund Jihadis in Afg and Saudi but ignored them and stood back while they massacred educated classes and secularists in Afghanistan especially Kabul when they wanted to fight Soviet union. Pakistan murders Muslims in Bolochistan too.

Pakistan's secular, military oligarchy has one purpose: to maintain it's position. They will kiss up to or double cross whomever they need to-- Islamist, American, or anyone else-- to remain in power. That suits the West just fine because if Pakistan's government actually falls to radical Islamists, that means instant nuclear weapons for jihadis.

There is a reason Hillary Clinton hasn't raised holy hell over Pakistan's recent love affair with China: because China thinks the exact same way the UMore..nited States government does about Pakistan's government.Less..

The American government doesn't trust Pakistan. Why do you think they got bin Laden without telling Pakistan? Why do you think America has never apologized to Pakistan for the killing of their troops a few months ago? Why do you think America ignores Pakistani protests over the drones?

Because they would have tipped off and moved bin Laden.

Because their troops really WERE involved in attacking a U.S. base in Afghanistan.

Because Pakistan protects our enemies, and because Pakistan sometiMore..mes provides the intelligence for the strikes. Until recently, the drones were actually taking off and landing in Pakistan, all the while with Pakistan claiming to be against the strikes.

Where do you think the new head of al Qaeda is (Zawahiri)?

Who do you think was behind the Mumbai massacre?

Pakistan's elected government are figureheads only, having absolutely no power over anything. The country is run by the military. And their military has no principle at all except to play all sides and to maintain their power.

Someday, this will all blow up in their faces, and that would be fine with me.
